Any language in which whitespace has syntactic value is intrinsically flawed.
Can't speak to your specific issues, but that's why yaml will always suck.
As a serialization format, agree 100%, but would Python really be better if it switched to braces?
Yes it would - look at optional braces for short if expressions in C family languages and why it's so discouraged in large projects. Terminating characters are absolutely worth the cost of an extra LoC
I'm fine with python, because it's consistent. In C I get nervous every time I see it.
